TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2017 — LG Electronics (LG) will feature its new mobile UX 6.0 in its upcoming G6 smartphone specifically customized to maximize the advantages of the device’s expansive FullVision® display. LG G6 will feature a QHD+ FullVision display with an 18:9 screen aspect ratio that almost entirely fills the front of the smartphone. The dimensions of the phone are ergonomically designed to ensure maximum comfort and compatibility with existing and upcoming digital content.

The new UX maximizes the benefits of the FullVision display, providing the user with our ultimate user experience and convenience, including the following features:

Smartly designed GUI (Graphical User Interface) that enables the opening of two square windows side by side, delivering a better multitasking experience

A Differentiated Experience

The FullVision display in the LG G6 allows users to view information when surfing the web, reading e-books, and provides an immersive experience when watching videos or playing games.

The LG G6 is expected to kick off an era of premium smartphones with 18:9 screen aspect ratios, which is why such a wide variety of films, apps, and games tailored to the 18:9 aspect ratio is sharply rising. The smartphone includes a feature that allows users to view existing 16:9 ratio content easily in 18:9 format.

Camera UX

LG UX 6.0 provides a Square Camera feature which divides the 18:9 display into two squares. The larger screen enables users to take and review photos simultaneously. Users can shoot images in 1:1 format – a popular format on social media apps such as Instagram – and review them in the adjacent window. There is also new shooting mode called Food Mode that delivers high colour quality and saturation ideal for capturing images of food. Users can also create GIF files by combining anywhere from 2 and 100 pictures in a loop.

Advanced Multi-tasking

The 18:9 display on the LG G6 is optimal for multi-tasking. A user can open a call reception window next to a contact window or open the photo gallery at the same time as the music player. Multiple square photographs can be combined and viewed as a Collage Wallpaper on the lock screen. Users can also type a memo on one side of the screen while surfing the web on the other. While in the calendar app, a user can turn the G6 horizontally to display the calendar in the left window and a detailed schedule will appear on the right.

“The LG G6 with FullVision was designed to optimally display the newest content being filmed today in 18:9 and provide the best solution for viewing both old and new cinematic content,” said Juno Cho, president, and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Users will appreciate the many ways in which the LG G6 smartphone’s 18:9 aspect ratio can be used.”
